    The document discusses India's heavy reliance on road transportation for both passenger and freight movement, and the opportunities for multimodal transportation to lower logistics costs. It notes that logistics costs in India are high at 14% of GDP. Integrating road, rail, and inland water transport (IWT) through multimodal linkages can improve efficiency. The Inland Waterways Authority of India is working to enhance multimodal connectivity through various initiatives like multimodal terminals, roll-on/roll-off services, and developing freight villages and logistics parks with connections to different transportation modes. National policies are also aiming to optimize modal mix and develop an integrated multimodal network.

    • Logistics costs in India constitute about 14% of total GDP


    higher than the developed economies (about 6-8%).

    • Adoption of multimodal transportation by integration of road,


    rail and IWT modes can lower logistics cost for individual
    cargo parcels. Source : World Bank
    Logistics Efficiencies
    • India ranked 44 in the World Bank Logistics Performance Index 2018, across six metrics -
    customs, infrastructure, international shipments, logistics competence, tracking and tracing,
    and timeliness.

    • Each segment of logistics encounters significant challenges leading to high cost and low
    efficiency

    • Therefore, there is need to optimize modal mix (road, rail & IWT), improving last mile
    connectivity, and enhance the logistics value chain through digitization etc
    Multi-modal Transport Linkages
    • Multimodal transportation offers supply chain flexibility to choose and
    design the most optimum modal mix in terms of cost, time and reliability.

    • Provide a systematic, multi modal connectivity for a seamless movement of


    people, goods & services resulting in efficient conduct of logistics and
    economic activities.

    • Bring in ease of business in the logistics sector, a key enabler in making


    Indian industry competitive.
    National Perspective
    • National Logistics Policy is proposed with a vision for an integrated, seamless, efficient, and
    cost effective logistics network

    • Development of Multimodal Logistics Parks on National Highways

    • Technology Interventions such as Single Window Clearance and PCX

    • National Master Plan for providing Multi-Modal Infrastructure Connectivity to various


    Economic Zones’ is being developed by National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation
